Accessible.Org - The Home Of Accessible Web Site Design

Bobby Approved

Bobby approved designs power a practical, pragmatic approach to web accessibility. And accessible web site design enhances Internet business website performance.

Being "Bobby Approved" supports the mission of Accessible.Org, which is to make accessible web designs for nonprofits, small businesses and government departments in the most practical and pragmatic ways possible, such that they are able to display a Bobby approval symbol.

This implies a harmonious blending of the objectives of the site owner with the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines of the Web Accessibility Initiative and of the U.S. Section 508 Standards for accessibility adopted by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) of the U.S. Federal government.

For conceptual purposes, we've split website accessibility issues into two main streams:

disability-related - making web sites or anything having to do with the Internet as accessible as possible for people with disabilities
non-disability-related - making web sites viewable by as many browsers (and browser settings) as possible, in other words assuring browser compatibility
